[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , this embodiment discloses a cleaning machine for cleaning a circuit board, specifically an SMT patch cleaning machine, including a cleaning table 101 and a cleaning component 102 slidably installed above the cleaning table 101. A first telescopic device 103 for driving the movement of the cleaning component 102 is installed on the cleaning table 101. A stepped groove 104 is provided on the cleaning table 101, and a dust suction component 105 communicating with the stepped groove 104 is installed on the cleaning table 101;

[0036] The cleaning component 102 includes a support frame 106 and a cleaning plate 107 installed on the support frame 106. A liquid cavity 108 is provided inside the cleaning plate 107, and a number of drip holes communicating with the liquid cavity 108 are provided on the cleaning plate 107. A liquid supply component 109 is installed on the cleaning table 101, and the liquid supply component 109 is used to input a circuit board cleaning liquid into the liquid cavity 108;

[0037] A number of filter holes 110 are provided on the stepped groove 104, and the filter holes 110 communicate with the dust suction component 105.

[0038] In this embodiment, a non-woven fabric is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning plate 107 for contacting the back surface of the SMT patch. After the SMT patch is placed face-up in the stepped groove 104, the stepped groove 104 can limit the SMT patch after contacting it. After the liquid supply assembly 109 inputs the cleaning solution into the liquid chamber 108, the cleaning solution can wet the non-woven fabric mounted on the cleaning plate 107 after flowing out through a plurality of drip holes provided at the bottom end of the cleaning plate 107. The support frame 106 is connected to the telescopic end of the first telescopic device 103. Driven by the first telescopic device 103, the support frame 106 can drive the cleaning plate 107 to move horizontally. After the bottom surface of the cleaning plate 107 contacts the back surface of the SMT patch, the welding residues on the back surface of the SMT patch can be cleaned as the cleaning plate 107 moves horizontally. The dust suction assembly 105 is installed at the bottom end of the stepped groove 104 and communicates with the stepped groove 104. When the dust suction assembly 105 is started, it can clean the dust adhered to each component on the surface of the SMT patch. During the process of cleaning the back surface of the SMT patch by the cleaning plate, the excess cleaning solution enters the dust collection assembly through the filter holes 110 under the action of the dust collection assembly for collection, so as to prevent the excess cleaning solution from remaining on the SMT patch and eroding the components mounted on the surface of the SMT patch.

[0039] In some embodiments, a second telescopic device 111 is installed on the support frame 106, and the cleaning plate 107 is connected to the support frame 106 through the second telescopic device 111. The fixed end of the second telescopic device 111 is connected to the support frame 106, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic device 111 is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 107. By setting the second telescopic device 111, the cleaning plate 107 can be driven to move vertically up and down, so that the cleaning plate 107 can move up and down according to the different thicknesses of the SMT patch and closely adhere to the back surface of the SMT patch, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, the cleaning plate 107 is detachably connected to the telescopic end of the second telescopic device 111. A threaded groove is provided on the telescopic end of the second telescopic device 111, and the cleaning plate 107 is threadedly connected to the telescopic end of the second telescopic device 111 through the broken stone threaded groove. By making the cleaning plate 107 detachably connected to the second telescopic device 111, it is convenient to clean and replace the cleaning plate 107.

[0041] In some embodiments, the dust suction assembly 105 includes a dust collection hood 112, an air extraction pipe 113, and an air extraction fan 114. The air extraction fan 114 is installed on the cleaning table 101. The dust collection hood 112 is connected to the bottom end of the stepped groove 104 and communicates with the stepped groove 104 and the filter holes 110. The dust collection hood 112 is connected to the air extraction fan 114 through the air extraction pipe 113. After the air extraction fan 114 is started, a negative pressure is formed in the dust collection hood 112. Under the action of the air extraction fan 114, the dust accumulated on the components mounted on the front side of the SMT patch can be cleaned, and the excess washing solution generated during the cleaning process can enter the dust collection hood 112 through the filter holes 110 for collection.

[0042] In some embodiments, the end of the air extraction pipe 113 away from the air extraction fan 114 is connected to the side surface of the dust collection hood 112. By connecting the air extraction pipe 113 to the side surface of the dust collection hood 112, while the dust collection hood 112 forms a negative pressure under the action of the air extraction fan, it can further prevent the liquid droplets of the washing solution entering the dust collection hood 112 from entering the air extraction pipe 113.

[0043] In some embodiments, a liquid collection box 115 is installed at the air inlet end of the air extraction pipe 113. A plurality of through holes 116 are provided on the liquid collection box 115, and a water absorbent cotton 117 is installed in the liquid collection box 115. After a negative pressure is formed in the dust collection hood 112, the excess washing solution generated during the cleaning process enters the liquid collection box 115 provided in the dust collection hood 112 through the filter holes 110. The water absorbent cotton installed in the liquid collection box 115 can collect the washing solution and dust entering the liquid collection box 115. The filtered gas enters the air extraction pipe 113 through the through holes 116 and is discharged outside the cleaning table 101 under the action of the air extraction fan 114.

[0044] In some embodiments, the liquid collection box 115 is detachably connected to the air extraction pipe 113. A limiting platform is fixedly connected to the top end of the liquid collection box 115. After the limiting platform contacts the dust collection hood 112, it can limit the liquid collection box 115, which is convenient for cleaning and replacing the liquid collection box 115.

[0045] In some embodiments, the liquid supply assembly 109 includes a liquid supply tank 118 and a pump body 119.

In this embodiment, the pump body 119 is a conventional conveying device in the prior art, and its structure and function will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0046] In some embodiments, the infusion tube 120 is a telescopic tube. When the support frame 106 horizontally moves away from the liquid supply tank 118 under the drive of the first telescopic device 103, the telescopic tube elongates; when the support frame 106 horizontally moves towards the liquid supply tank 118 under the drive of the first telescopic device 103, the telescopic tube shortens.

[0047] In some embodiments, bristles 121 are connected to the bottom surface of the cleaning plate 107. After the pump body 119 inputs the cleaning liquid in the liquid supply tank 118 into the liquid cavity 108 through the infusion tube 120, the cleaning liquid flows out through a plurality of drip holes provided at the bottom end of the cleaning plate 107 and can moisten the bristles 121. By providing the bristles 121, the cleaning effect on the back surface of the STM patch can be further improved.

[0048] In some embodiments, a sliding groove 122 is provided on the cleaning table 101, and the support frame 106 is slidably mounted on the cleaning table 101 through the sliding groove 122. The sliding groove 122 is used to limit and guide the cleaning table 101, so that the cleaning table 101 can move smoothly under the drive of the first telescopic device 103.

[0049] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art can make additional changes and modifications once they learn the basic creative concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted to include the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
